I agree with Jsham, Whink is the way to go...a wonderful product.

Nut Roll Cookies
I have never heard of a cookie recipe that takes cake yeast. I dont suppose there is any way of substituting regular yeast?
Pretzel Chip Cookies
It depends on the size you make these cookies how long you bake them. Time them for 15 minutes on the first batch and adjust from there.
Pretzel Chip Cookies
Bake them at 350 degrees. Also, I would let the dough set out after refrigerating it for 24 hours. It is not very pliable otherwise. After I shaped the dough into balls, I dipped them in water so the pretzels would adhere better.
Elegant Stinkhorn Mushroom
It looks more like a male part to me than a fungus! LOL... I once had one in my garden too and took it to a local nursery so they could identify it. Keep in mind I have no sense of smell so it didnt stink to me. When I showed the fellow, he stepped back and...

Robin, is that the quick cooking oatmeal or the old fashioned, or does it matter which you use?
Growing a Lemon Tree for Seed in a Container?
I have a lime tree and I keep it outside in the summer and bring it in in the winter. It is not real fast growing and I have never gotten a lime from it. It also has sharp thorns on it. The leaves get real dark and glossy so it is a pretty plant whether or...

I make mine like HudsonDawson except that I put some shredded mozarella cheese on the top. It is so good and my friend makes the lasagna dish, using the eggplant in place of noodles which would be similar.

Egg Noodles
This was basically my moms recipe too. She never used the egg white which is probably not the healthiest, but I have to say they were the best homemade noodles I ever had, too!

Since you cant change it, I would go with it. Play it up! Get a shower curtain that is compatible maybe if you can find it in black and white polka dots. Do you sew? There are so many compatible patterns that you could use for a shower curtain or curtains. Good...
Possible Bed Bugs?
Fleas choose a host. My daughter had bites from them once and nobody else in the house did. Fleas would be my guess.
Recipe for Cucumbers in Vinegar?
I make them like jsham only I use a much stronger ratio of vinegar to water. Probably like 1/2 and 1/2. Depending on the amount of cukes you do, I also add sugar to my brine. It probably would be healthier not to but this is the way my mother always made them...

Eventually it will leave a scum on your floors. I dont think it is recommended for floors.
Two Ingredient Cake
The only one I have made is with 7-up because that is what I had on hand. I used a lemon cake mix. I think you could frost it with whatever type frosting you like. I would probably make a buttercream and flavor it with lemon flavoring.

For Ausjulie, yes the bottom is a metallic paint. It is Caramel Latte by Krylon and then is glazed over that with a metallic craft paint by DecoArt called Rich Expresso.

There is a product made especially for this. I think it is called Goof-Off.
Determining if My Popcorn Ceiling Has Asbestos?
They are only dangerous if you would try to sand them off. If you wet it with a sprayer and water and let it soak, it will come right off. Be prepared for the biggest mess you can imagine. Have to have everything covered and tarps everywhere. I would not recommend...

Years ago I had the artificial nails because mine were so thin and broke so easily. Little did I know that when I tried to have them moved professionally that they would be so difficult to get off. After soaking for a long time, when they took them off, my...

Have you ever heard of a product called Wink? It removes rust immediately. If you put it on your spot it just disappears. I dont know if it work on your spots but you might give it a try. I think Ace Hardware stores carry the product.
Inexpensively Recovering a Recliner?
I think I would use something with more heft than a sheet. Why not try using a canvas drop cloth? You can buy them for 10 to 20 dollars. The main thing to watch for with them is that sometimes they have a seam running up the center of them. I found that out...
Reusing Ziploc Freezer Bags?
I do the same thing as Jilson. If your meat is wrapped in something first, be it a plastic sandwich bag or plastic wrap, it really does not come into contact with the outer bag. It also, as she says give extra protection. Many times I will buy 10 pounds of...

Growing Cucumbers?
In the spring, I mound up the soil in hills and plant 5 or 6 seeds to a mound. Give them lots of room to grow because they really like to spread out, just like squash does. I bought some seedlings this year and they are not supposed to spread like some of the...
Cost Effectiveness of Freezing Local Produce...
If you can buy local from a farmers market, it may not be cost effective but it is much healthier food. It is picked fresh and does not have a bunch of chemicals thrown on it. I agree with cat nip.
Improving Garden Soil?
I would do a test before adding anything. Lime will be of no help if your soil is sweet to begin with. I think Foxrun meant compost, that will not hurt it at all but I would still test your soil first.

I have never heard of a Bat Orchid, dont know myself but it is really unusual.

I had the same thing happen to spinach this year, dont have a clue what has caused it.

You can buy a lambs wool covering for them. I think Walmart carries them.
Plant Tomatoes Horizontally
Well that is a new one on me. Never heard of doing that. Too late for this year but will have to try it next year. Did the GA locals recommend the sugar too or was that your idea?
Cucumbers Turning Brown on the Vine?
Not enough water probably and if it has been hot, that will also be a problem.
Getting Rid of Japanese Beetles?
Check your yard for grubs. They are white thick worms and they eat the roots of your grass. A few in your yard will not hurt but if you have a lot, they will decimate the grass. This is where Japanese beetles come from. They lay their eggs and then hatch. The...
Making Nails Stronger?

Feed it food for tomato plants, they love it. A handful of lime around the clematis in the early spring is good too because they like a sweet soil.

Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFL)...
The closest place I have to take burned out bulbs is 40 miles away. Then, when I do get there It is tough to remember to bring the bulb. I agree, they dont last any longer than regular bulbs and if turning them on and off wears them out sooner, havent you defeated...
Using Borax to Get Rid of Creeping Charlie?
Using Borax is very chancy. If you use too much you could ruin your whole yard and it will be a very long time before you get any grass to grow. This is the only thing that works and even then you have to keep checking and reapply. I took this excerpt from...
How Do I Control Squash Bugs Organically?

When Do I Harvest Rhubarb?
I agree with redhattterb, pull it, dont cut it. Pulling it makes new shoots come up and that is what keeps it multiplying. Pull it anytime it seems large enough to pull. And when you do, only pull about 1/3 of the plant at one time. Wait till it grows up again...
